We just joined a club this year that has TifEagle bermuda greens. They putt very nice and are pretty fast. What is odd and outside my experience are the ball marks. I am used to poa or bent greens where the ball leaves a depression when the greens are receptive. Hence the need to repair the mark bringing the depression back to level.

On these TifEagle greens the ball marks are barely dicernable smudges of disturbed grass. No lasting depression at all. In fact many times it is impossible to find a mark at all. Is this normal? No real trouble stopping the ball though.

Yes it's normal. They play fast and firm.

Thanks for the reply. I was concerned that there was something special about TifEagle that made shots stop on the green better even though there wasn't a ball mark and they appeared really firm.

Very normal...our home course converted to Champions Bermuda or a similar strand, and anything short of a moon ball will not leave a pitch mark....once they are seasoned, they will hold just fine though....not as smooth as bent, but faster and easier to maintain in the south....I like them.
